Mobley's daughter says if that neighbor hadn't helped, her father would have burned to death.

Mobley's dog, Bonnie, also suffered some burns to her paws after the fire spread to her pen.

Pulaski County Emergency Management officials say they want to remind people that a statewide burn ban is in effect within 100 feet of a wood line because of the dry conditions.

Last week there was a similar case in Rockcastle County where a man died while burning debris. He was taken to UK Hospital but the Fayette County Coroner's office told us 64-year-old Robert Childress died of smoke inhalation.
